3.7 Quick-change function
All gripper versions are delivered with a quick-change function. It allows different types of suction gripper
to be changed quickly and without tools, and also allows for quick-change adapters with different vac-
uum and compressed air connections (> See ch. Accessories).
1. Variant 1 (standard): vacuum and compressed air duct open (standard)
2. Variant 2 (accessories): vacuum duct open, compressed air duct closed
3. Variant 3 (accessories): compressed air duct open, vacuum duct closed (e.g. for operation of mechani-
cal grippers)
The adapter is held by a magnet; during the suction process, the vacuum also assists with a secure connec-
tion.
The quick-change adapter is released or changed through a combined lift-and-turn motion. When doing
so, we recommend using the suction plate holder as the "station" (> See ch. Accessories).
1. "Moving" the gripping system into the suction
plate holder
2. Release the quick-change adapter from the
gripping system through a combined lift-and-
turn motion.
3.8 Swivel Function
The swiveling unit can be used to swivel the suction cup or gripper by 45° on one side. This feature makes
it easy to reach and, as a result, handle products that are in an unfavorable position in the container (e.g.
in a corner) with the robot. The robot can make a straight approach with the gripper and does not have
to tilt itself. This may even make it possible to use a smaller robot size.
3.9 NFC Interface
NFC (Near Field Communication) refers to a standard for wireless data transfer between different devices
over a short distance.
The vacuum switch VSi functions as a passive NFC tag that can be read or written to by a reading device
such as a smartphone or tablet with NFC activated. Access to the parameters of the vacuum switch via NFC
also works without a connected supply voltage.
There are two options for communicating via NFC:
•
Read access only can be obtained via a website viewed in a browser. For this, no additional app is
needed. The read device only needs to have NFC active and Internet access.
